Just badWhy do yall use ai apps anyways, your ruining the planet. Like bye— the only reason you be getting wet cuz of an ai? Crazyyyyy

PLEASE READ THIS:This app was SO good! Like I would be on it 24/7, but now? It’s literally impossible to use. When you open the app? Ads. When you open a chat? Ads. Even when you’re using the bot, the chat message shows up with an Ad! The writing styles used to be amazing but now it feels literally impossible to use…
